Study Break: Be held rapt at Raptus

Need more distractions from your studies? Not to worry, coming up this weekend is Raptus Festivalen. Raptus, also know as Bergen International Comics Festival, was first established by Danish cartoonist/artist Rasmus Julius in 1996. It features a variety of events focused on comics and their creators. Raptus starts Friday evening 16 September, and ends on the 18th of September. Entrance is free of charge. The event is held at Scandic Bergen City (Håkonsgaten 2 through 7). Check out all the events in Raptus’s programme, here.
